SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
UPON PRESSING BRAKES WHILE GOING THRU A POT HOLE THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL DEACTIVATES AND FLASHES LIKE IF THE VEHICLE WAS DRIFTING OR WITHOUT ROAD GRIP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON ALL OCCASIONS, WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF FUNCTION OF THE GAS PUMP ACTIVATES WHEN THE IN VEHICLE GAS GAUGE INDICATES ABOUT 3/4 FULL. I CAN THEN PROCEED TO ADD APPROXIMATELY THREE MORE GALLONS IF I "NURSE" THE FLOW OF GAS INTO THE TANK. I AM ACUTELY AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF THIS PROCESS IN THAT GASOLINE COULD SPLASH BACK AT PERSON FILLING THE TANK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL TANK APPEARS UNABLE TO BE FILLED COMPLETELY. ALTHOUGH PUMP CLICKS OFF (ON MULTIPLE STATION'S PUMPS), FILL LEVEL ON FUEL GAUGE IS SELDOM ABOVE 7/8 FULL, AND SOMETIMES LESS. DURING ONE SERVICE VISIT TO ADDRESS THIS, DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WERE ONLY 9.2 GALLONS IN THE 14.5 GALLON TANK IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FILL-UP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL TANK WILL NOT FILL TO FULL CAUSING ATTENDEES/USER TO TRICKLE AND ATTEMPT TO TRICK THE VEHICLE TO ACCEPTING MORE FUEL. RANGE OF VEHICLE IS GREATLY REDUCED AS A RESULT OF LESS FUEL AVAILABLE TO A TANK OF GAS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ADVERTISED FUEL TANK CAPACITY OF 14.5 BUT ONLY ABLE TO US 9-10 GALLONS OF THE TANK, WILL NOT FILL UP AS ADVERTISED ~550 MILE RANGE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR THE ESTIMATED DRIVING RANGE AND WE AREN'T GETTING ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THAT. TOOK TO DEALER AND NO EXPLANATION OR ACTION WAS GIVEN. HELP

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK ON MY RAV4. IT IS A 14 GALLON GAS TANK AND I'M ONLY ABLE TO EVER FIT 9-9.5 GALLONS OF GAS IN IT. I HAVE SPILLED GAS OUT OF THE VEHICLE TRYING TO FULLY FILL THE VEHICLE AND IT STILL WILL NOT SHOW AS FULL ON THE GAS GAUGE. I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE OVER 500+ MILES IN RANGE AND NOW WHEN I FILL IT THE RANGE ONLY UPDATES TO 380 MILES OR SO. BETWEEN SPILLING GAS AT THE PUMP AND NOT KNOWING THE ACTUAL RANGE BEFORE I RUN OUT OF GAS, THIS IS A PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UNABLE TO FILL GAS TANK BEYOND 9.5 GALLONS EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAS A 14.5 GALLON TANK. GAS LIGHT WAS ON AND CAR ESTIMATING 35 MILES TO EMPTY WHEN I FILLED IT. WHEN I GET BACK IN THE CAR MY FUEL GAUGE SHOWS THAT THE TANK IS FULL. I'M AVERAGING ABOUT 350 MILES PER TANK RIGHT NOW.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR CLAIMS 14.5 GALLON TANK. YOU CAN ONLY PUT 10 GALLONS IN THE TANK. IF YOU PUT MORE, IT SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND. INSTEAD OF A RANGE OF 560, IT ONLY HAS A 400 MILE RANGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH. IF THE TANK SHOW HALF FULL, YOU CAN ONLY PUT IN 4.3 GALLONS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE TANK DOES NOT HOLD THE "FULL" GAS CAPACITY THAT THE TANK IS MEANT TO HOLD. I AM ONLY ABLE TO PUT ABOUT 9 GALLONS OF GAS INTO THE TANK. THE SUV HAS A GAS TANK OF 14.5 GALLONS AND YET I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FUEL ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THAT. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ON 09/09/19.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN PUMPING GAS THE AUTO-OFF FEATURE IS CLICKING EARLY, CAUSING ME TO ONLY FILL BETWEEN 9-10 GALLONS OF THE 14.5-GALLON TANK. I'VE SEEN A LOT OF REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE MY OWN CLAIM HERE AS WELL. I OWN A 2019 RAV4 XLE HYBRID.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STATED CAPACITY OF FUEL TANK IS 14.5 GALLONS. EVEN WHEN ABSOLUTELY CLOSE TO EMPTY ("20 MILES LEFT IN TANK"), THE MOST I CAN FILL UP TANK IS 9 TO 10 GALLONS. ADVERTISED RANGE OF VEHICLE IS 500 MILES. I'M LUCKY IF I GET 400 MILES FROM A SINGLE TANK.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE IS ONLY ABLE TO FILL UP TO ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK, REGARDLESS OF WHICH GAS STATION I GO TO. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE DAY 1 AND VARIES BY 1 OR 2 GALLONS. BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET A FULL TANK. I CAN USUALLY ONLY GET 9-11 GALLONS OF GAS WHEN THE CAR IS EMPTY. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT DROP OFF IN FUEL ECONOMY RECENTLY 39MPG VS 32MPG.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
YOU CAN'T FILL IT UP ALL THE WAY IT SHUTS OFF AND IS NOT FULL BY SEVERAL GALLONS. ONE TIME WE TRIED PUTTING THE FUEL IN VERY SLOWLY AND IT OVERFILLED THE TANK AND SPILLED OUT! IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL UP SINCE PURCHASE

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET INTO A PARKING SPOT ON MY LEFT SIDE. SAVED FROM CRASHING INTO THE ADJACENT CAR WHEN I QUICKLY PUSHED THE BRAKES, VERY SCARY. IT WAS RAINING AT THE TIME, AND THE PARKING SPOT I WAS AIMING FOR IS AT AN INCLINE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T GO BEYOND 3/4 FULL, INDICATES THAT THE GAS TANK IS NOT FULL. YET, ALL THE GAS PUMPS WE USED IN HE PAST 7 MONTHS CLICK OFF -- INDICATING THAT THE GAS TANK IS INDEED FULL. TRYING TO TOP THE GAS TANK (TO GET THE FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW FULL) CREATES TOXIC AND POLLUTING GAS SPILLS THAT HARM THE PEOPLE NEARBY AND THE ENVIRONMENT. I FILED A CASE NUMBER WITH MY DEALER AND TOYOTA ON 10/18/2019. TOYOTA KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM, NO SOLUTION FORTHCOMING AS OF NOW 12/22/2019.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PCS DOES NOT WORK. DEALER TESTED IT WITH AN INSTRUMENT THAT CLAIMS IT IS OK. I RECHECKED IT 4 TIMES.IT IS DYSFUNCTIONAL. SINCE IT IS A BLIND SYSTEM I SUSPECT OTHERS MAY HAVE NON OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS WITHOUT REALIZING IT. OWNER MANUAL INSTRUCTS USERS NOT TO TRY TESTING'WHICH IS ACTUALLY VERY SIMPLE AT REASONABLY SLOW SPEED OF ABOUT 25 MPH. I EXPERIENCED NO SOUND OR VISUAL WARNINGS AND NO BRAKING DURING SEVERAL TRIALS.
